As global temperatures rise, travelers are increasingly seeking cooler, more sustainable destinations for their vacations, leading to a trend called 'coolcations' where people visit places like Scandinavia and the Rocky Mountains to escape the heat and reduce their environmental impact.
A recent Tripadvisor report highlights the top 10 most popular domestic summer destinations in the U.S., with Las Vegas and New York City ranking as the top two, and Florida cities like Key West and Clearwater also highly favored for their mix of city life and natural attractions.
Delta Air Lines has announced an expansion of its route map for next summer, adding three new flights and expanding service on 11 routes. The new routes include daily services from Atlanta to Fresno and Santa Barbara in California, as well as flights from Seattle to Dallas-Fort Worth. The airline will also resume service and increase frequencies on routes to popular summer destinations. This expansion reflects the focus on leisure travel and outdoor destinations as the airline industry anticipates a slower recovery in business travel.
